Mikey and Nicky

         Relatively obscure 1976 Goodfella Noir about small time Philadelphia hoods John Cassavetes and Peter Falk made unusually on this occasion by a  female director. Former comedy writer/actor Elaine May used experimental filming techniques which left opinions divided, but Lucien Ballard's visual touches can be detected. One particularly Noirish aspect of the film's storyline is that the whole thing takes place over the course of one night.
